  • Apple debuts $159 AirPods wireless earbuds with W1 wireless chip, 5 hours of battery life

    Would love an in ear version too. That EarPod design just does not like my ears at all. Constantly falls out. But, this is extremely impressive and I can't wait to see how they work. Great price too, I was expecting way more than that.

  • 'A10 Fusion,' 'iSight Duo,' other trademarks for possible Apple products revealed

    The rear facing camera is absolutely an iSight camera. The front facing camera is a FaceTime HD camera. Even says so in Apple's iPhone 6s product description.

    "The 12-megapixel iSight camera captures sharp, detailed photos. It takes brilliant 4K video, up to four times the resolution of 1080p HD video. iPhone 6s also takes selfies worthy of a self-portrait with the new 5-megapixel FaceTime HD camera"

  • New USB-C-to-HDMI spec will enable adapter-free display hookups for MacBooks

    Well, if you're going to get technical, then yeah, it's an adapter since it converts the electrical signaling to be compatible at the other end. The cabling does it internally. But, to the general public, an adapter is something they need to get to make sure one cable can plug into a port. That's my take on the marketing of this anyway. All you need is the cable, so, no adapter.

    Um, this is USB-C connector to HDMI connector so, isn't this technically still an adapter since it adapts USB to HDMI? No adapter would mean HDMI -> HDMI cables. Not really any different than the other DP->HDMI adapter cables sold (except this uses USB).

    An adapter would mean another device in the way facilitating the connection. Since it is port to port, then it is truly adapter-less. Both ends of the cable don't have to be the same connector type.

    I am in awe of all the angst and gnashing of teeth over the possibility that Apple may be phasing out a (literally!) nineteenth century connector technology. 

    If you could travel back in time and walk into Edison's lab at Menlo Park in 1880, carrying a set of earbuds with the 3.5 mm jack, they would immediately know exactly what it is. They'd marvel at the miniaturization, but that's only because they'd have quarter-inch jacks on hand for comparison.

    Go to 9to5Mac, everyone is losing their shit over an adapter. Fighting with each other and everything. Quite hilarious. Use it or don't, it's that simple. Plus, if Apple didn't include it, these same people would still be bitching. I swear, pleasing Apple "fans" these days seems to be harder and harder.
